Midfielder Paul Pogba has insisted that the current Manchester United squad is the “strongest” he’s played in and he is “happy” at Old Trafford, and has highlighted his aspirations for the 2021-22 season.
There have been several rumours of a potential move away from Manchester United for Pogba with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
However, the 28-year-old has shown that he remains fully committed to United’s cause by starting their latest campaign in impressive form.
The France international has contributed five assists so far this campaign and has his sights firmly set on winning trophies under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Man United boss has recruited several players including Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo in a bid to finally put an end to the club’s trophy drought.
Pogba expressed his excitement over the potential of the squad, stating it was the best Man United squad he had ever been in.

Speaking before the team’s 1-0 win at Wolves on Sunday, he told TV2: “There have always been strong Manchester United teams, but this is definitely the strongest [I’ve played in]. It is obviously in this club’s DNA to win trophies.
“We have a strong team that can become champions. We know how hard it is, but we will do our best to lift the trophy this season.”
Pogba refused to be drawn into answering questions about his future at the club with his contract set to expire next year but admitted he was enjoying his football at Manchester United.
“To be honest, I am very happy, I enjoy myself. The Premier League is back, I play football again after a nice holiday, so it is very, very good,” he added.
“There is a huge difference from last season. Last season I had corona[virus] and no seasonal run-up, so it took a long time to get back in shape.
“This season I have trained, I have had a good start and I have been healthy. I feel much better and it makes a huge difference physically.”
